Digital Trust
for Printing
What are the top cyber risks for digital printing?
The conventional printers for paper documents are evolving in the era for additive manufacturing to 3D printers. The major risks stem from inadequate supply chain protection and theft of intellectual property.
How do you secure printing devices and operations?
Securing printing devices and services requires the following actions:
- Securing the computer aided design (CAD) file delivery with authentication of source and authorization by the publisher
- Embedding protection to prevent theft of intellectual property (CAD files)
- Extending tamper-resistant protection across the supply chain from the developer to the publisher
- Protecting containerized applications for workload isolation and key protection in additive manufacturing
- Securing the integrity of lateral data transport for interoperability—to deliver technical data in connected digital manufacturing equipment

What printing-related devices are most vulnerable to cyberattack?
Perimeter-based defenses and threat detection technologies are not enough to defend against modern cyber attacks. Many business printers, multi-function printers, digital presses, scanners, copiers, 3D printers, gateways, and Internet of Things (IoT) edge devices are vulnerable due to a lack of strong cryptographic controls, including: multi-factor authentication, secure boot, secure update, and secure, encrypted communications.
How do cyberattacks target printing systems and infrastructure?
Ensuring data privacy in printing and business systems that are vulnerable to physical compromise is critical. For printers deployed in industrial environments, compromised printers could be used to launch lateral attacks onto SCADA and industrial control system (ICS) devices. In operating technology (OT) environments, oftentimes physical human safety and uptime drive the security needs of plants and large SCADA systems.
